I'm having problems passing a challenge with Tuples in Swift. It is modifying a return type to be a tuple.

Here is the full challenge: Currently our greeting function only returns a single value. Modify it to return both the greeting and the language as a tuple. Make sure to name each item in the tuple: greeting and language. We will print them out in the next task.

func greeting(person: String) -> String {
    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return greeting
}

I have tried many different ways but I can't quite get it right. any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Ethan

Here is the solution I finally came up with if anyone else had trouble with this. What confused me was the redeclaration of 'greeting' to not only the function but a constant within the function and also a name of one of the tuple return types. but here is the solution code for anyone else who happens to get stuck!

func greeting(person: String) -> (greeting: String, language: String) {

    let language = "English"
    let greeting = "Hello \(person)"

    return (greeting, language)

}
